How to evaluate Ginobili and Popovich?

Ginobili and Popovich, the two-way arrow of mentoring.

20 19 Spurs legend Ginobili spent an unforgettable night in San Antonio. That night, Ginobili officially bid farewell to his No.20 jersey, and the retirement of No.20 jersey also announced the end of his great career. That night, Ginobili hugged and kissed Popovich's forehead, and Manu put a happy end to his career in the Spurs.

Popovich, 7 1 year-old, has reached the age of retiring, and the current NBA season is in full swing. When the Olympic Games are postponed to next year, the elderly will choose to retire this year or take charge of the Olympic Games, which has aroused public speculation. When discussing this legendary coach, I always think of the picture of the old man kissing his forehead on the night when he retired from the "apprentice" Ginobili jersey.

Ginobili and Popovich are like two horses and Bole. Popovich, who has always been known for his harshness, can tolerate when people question Ginobili's inability to integrate into the Spurs. Now, it is precisely because of Popovich's infinite connivance that the Spurs can be promoted to a new stage, and Popovich has also achieved Ginobili, who is known as a young man born in the 1980s.

How indulgent is Popovich to Ginobili? He once publicly said: "I can't discuss the timing with Manu, because he will insist that he has been playing like this, and I have left him alone for a long time." In addition, there is a joke about pre-season training between "mentoring" and "mentoring". In a pre-season training of the Spurs, Ginobili threw himself on the ground and grabbed a ball, which was passed to his teammates for layup. At this time, Popovich immediately stopped the game and asked, "What does this performance mean?" At this time, Ginobili, who has always been "unruly", replied: "Only by playing this game well can we defend our title." Hearing Ginobili's answer, Popovich nodded affirmatively.

Popovich's tolerance for Ginobili is not only reflected in various words, but also in the arrangement of the team. Popovich brought the role of Ginobili as a "good pony" into full play. Contrary to Popovich's tactics, Ginobili demanded freedom outside the tactical system. Popovich not only didn't feel offended by this game that was almost completely opposite to his own field, but let Ginobili play freely.

With Popovich's permission, Ginobili had a series of names that sounded like thunder during his time in the Spurs, such as Snake, Demon Knife and Mr. Incredible. The mutual achievements of Popovich and Ginobili, Bole and Liangju provided Ginobili with an environment suitable for free play, and Ginobili also gave back his achievements to Popovich.
